    That's how I run mine. It doesn't take long for the ends of the bolts to round off, but even then they help quite a bit.
    I think I might try sharpening the ends of the bolts this year, and might even try hardening them so they last a little longer.

    Those are Grade 8 Bolts, and that's exactly what I'm using. The ends still round off. I'm thinking that I might be able to heat the sharpened ends up to red hot, then quench them in oil. That will make them harder, but more brittle. If they start breaking the tips off them I might try to temper the tip s after I harden them.
